“La reacción de las autoridades marroquíes sobre Ceuta me parece vil”
Para Fouad Abdelmoumni, economista y activista marroquí, la crisis migratoria actual muestra que la frustración de sus compatriotas está mucho más extendida de lo que pensábamos
The reaction of Moroccan authorities to the Ceuta crisis seems to many observers to be inadequate, according to Fouad Abdelmoumni, an economist and veteran human rights activist living in Switzerland. Abdelmoumni, who was recently sentenced to six months in prison for alleging that Morocco used Pegasus, believes that the authorities' response to the influx of tens of thousands of people in a short time is insufficient.
He finds it hard to believe that such a thing could happen unnoticed by a state with such a strong police and intelligence apparatus, even though he acknowledges that there are not enough solid sources to prove the existence of an organized plan. Abdelmoumni, who was the director of the anticorruption NGO Transparencia Marruecos and a member of the Alianza de la Federación de la Izquierda party, points out that the deep dissatisfaction affects not only the unemployed young Moroccans but also workers who consider their conditions deplorable.
Many young women are willing to risk their lives for a better opportunity, he says. The opportunities, he denounces, are monopolized by an elite linked to power, which dedicates a large part of its resources to projects like the World Cup, rather than investing in education, health, and stable employment.
